I'm all about creating things, from comics to video games -- only when I'm creating do I feel like myself. I made this website in September 2016. But it all started on Christmas in 2012 when my first daughter was born. It changed everything. The biggest joy came with the realization of being responsible for another human being, which put me in constant self-doubt, anxiety, and panic. I struggled to balance motherhood and work, which I found was a battle that's doomed to fail. In the process of making all the difficult decisions and seeking a peace of mind, I've been learning, changing and growing every day, together with my children. I'm an introvert who rarely inserts herself into conversations, but if you give me a pen, I will draw anything that comes to my mind. After almost 4 years of being occupied with children, working, and thinking, the urge to create an outlet pushed me to document my life. I want to make things that tell the truth. I want to make things that are close to my heart. I want to make things that after they are grown, my children will read and laugh, and they will understand who I am. I want to share my stories to connect with people. My family is my primary source of inspiration. If this will benefit them in any way in the future, it will be a dream come true. For everyone who enjoys my work, I’m happy that we share the feelings and a dry sense of humor. Weng Chen

I’m from Wuhan, it’s my hometown.

Fortunately, none of my family and friends are sick at this time. They are all staying home and waiting for the epidemic to pass.

The situation among the sick people tho, whether you are infected by the coronavirus or not, is depressing.

The medical supply( protection, testing kits)  is short, the hospitals are overcrowding,  the builders for the new hospitals are overworked, the doctors and nurses are on the edge of exhaustion and breakdown.

Therefore, many people can’t get medical help. They are dying at home, or in the hallway of the hospitals. Because they couldn’t get diagnosed, they were not counted in the numbers.

Don’t trust WHO’s praise towards the “excellent work” done by the Chinese government.  They went to Zhongnanhai ( the white palace in China), not the frontline, they didn’t go near any hospitals in Wuhan.

“Hey, I thought this is a funny comic!”

When I bring some humor into this event, I also want to raise some awareness.

As a comic artist, it’s the least I can do.

Bless Wuhan. Stay healthy, my friends.
